WHAT DOES TURANIAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Turanian

Turan

Tūrān can refer to a prehistoric human settlement, with some homogeneity in culture and regional habitation, a historic geographic region, and a culture. It is the Persian name for a region in Central Asia, literally meaning "the land of the Tur". The original Turanians are an Iranian tribe of the Avestan age. As a people, the "Turanian" are one of the two Iranian peoples both descending from the Persian Fereydun but with different domains and often at war with each other. In fact according to the Shahnameh's account, at least 1,500 years later after the Avesta, the nomadic tribes who inhabited these lands were ruled by Tūr, who was the emperor Fereydun's elder son. The association with Turks is also primarily based on the Shahnameh's geographical account where Turkification of Central Asia was partially completed during that time. Tur/Turaj is the son of emperor Fereydun in ancient Iranian mythology. In the Shahnameh, he is identified with the Turks although culturally there is no relationship between Turanians of the Shahnameh and the culture of ancient Turks.
